Meet the Rivera’s!

[LUIGI male] So… This is your house? [SOPHIE female] Yep. [LUIGI] It’s… really quiet. [A gigantic crash echoes from downstairs.] [Someone yells:] “JOSH!” [Another voice:] “It wasn’t me this time!” [SOPHIE] Like I said… This is the quiet part. [A knock at the door.] [WILL male] Soph? You okay? [SOPHIE female ] Fine! Just unpacking! [SOPHIE female] …Luke? [A window creaks open.] [Luigi climbs back inside.] [LUIGI male] I thought maybe I’d introduce myself… later. [He trips over a guitar case.] [CRASH!] [All five siblings stare.] [Josh slowly points.] [JOSH talking] … Either your suitcase had a growth spurt… or that’s a whole person. [The orchestra explodes.] [INTRO — FULL FAMILY] Who’s this? Who’s that? When did he get here? Somebody tell us What’s going on in here! Is he a neighbor? A superstar? A secret friend? How’d he get this far? SOPHIE: Everybody, breathe! This is Luke. He’s my friend. And before anyone asks— No… He didn’t actually travel in the suitcase. [VERSE 1 — SOPHIE] Welcome to our little corner, Where every day’s a brand-new show. Some days loud, Some days crazy, But you’ll never leave alone. Every hallway tells a story, Every picture knows our names. If you’re ready for adventure, Nothing’s ever quite the same. [CHORUS — FULL COMPANY] Come and meet the Riveras! Every heartbeat tells a tale! Dreaming big, Laughing louder, Somehow we all prevail! Different voices, Different colors, Every chapter shines its own way. If you’re stepping through our front door, You’re already partway! [JOSH] Tour time! Brent— You’re first! [He shoves Luigi into the chair.] [Brent catches it.] [BRENT male] Gym shoes, Fast moves, Always on the run! Race me to the finish— Spoiler… I’ve already won! But every medal’s empty If you’re standing there alone. Being strong means lifting others— That’s how real strength’s shown! [JOSH male] Life’s a party— Turn it louder! Turn the music way up high! Dance like nobody’s watching… (They’re definitely watching.) That’s alright! Yeah, I’m chaos! Yeah, I’m noisy! Life’s too short to play it safe! Come on, everybody move— Let’s light up this whole place! [INSTRUMENTAL DANCE BREAK] [Hip-hop beats, Latin percussion, brass, strings and breakdance energy.] [WILL male] Someone’s got to keep this family Pointing toward tomorrow. Not because we’re perfect, But because we’re never giving up. [KAITLYN female] Every flower needs a season. Every heart deserves some care. Sometimes all the world is asking Is for someone to be there. [TEGAN female — DRAMATIC RAP/SUNG] You see the lightning— Think that’s all I am? Look a little closer… There’s a story underneath. Built these walls from broken pieces, Learned to stand when life got rough. Still got fire. Still got questions. Still believe that love is tough. So if you think you know me— Take another look. Every chapter’s deeper Than the cover of the book. [BRIDGE] LUIGI: You know… I was nervous About meeting all of you. SOPHIE: Still nervous? LUIGI: …A little. JOSH: Perfect. You’ll fit right in. [FINAL CHORUS — FULL COMPANY] We’re the Riveras! Big dreams! Big hearts! Every ending Brings another start! When one falls, We all stand taller! When one shines, We celebrate louder! Different journeys— One family song! And if you’re here beside us… Then this is where you belong! [OUTRO] LUIGI: I think… I’m gonna need a map. JOSH: Nah. Around here… You just need family. [ORCHESTRAL FINALE]
